Oscar Robertson is one of the greatest players to ever take the court, with 181 triple-doubles across 14 seasons. Yet, there is one omission from the highlights of his illustrious NBA career, one in which he made 9,508 career field goals, including 1,996 in those triple-doubles: “I never dunked during a regulation game,” Robertson wrote in his 2003 autobiography, “The Big O: My Life, My Times, My Game.” “It wasn’t that I couldn’t dunk. I competed in the high and long jumps in track. I could jump with anyone, and I could dunk. But the Dust Bowl backboards were held up by wooden posts set right on the other side of the out-of-bounds line. During one game, I had a lane to the basket and went to dunk. Some guy knocked me right into the post. It hurt enough that I never dunked again.
